Crayfish Trapping

[laguna]

This might seem like an obscure question but here goes anyway...

In order to use a crayfish trap you need to be licensed (now free as I understand), but are licenses only granted to fishery owners and are they granted for use only in a particular river, lake or location?

Thanks

I was under the impression they're granted for a certain person in a certain area. I read a post on another forum that a fella was refused a licence to trap due to native crayfish being present in the section of river he wanted to trap.
